DEVICE FOR, STOPPING WINDING-FRAMES AND DOUBLING-FRAMES BY MEANS OF A MEASURING-CLOCK.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Sept, 14, 1909,

Application filed February 16, 1909. Serial No. 478,316.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Monirz EBELING, Jr., a citizen of the Gern'ian Empire, residing at Barmen, in the Province of Rhenish Prussia,

the iever 5. A spring 8 which acts on the long arm 5 of the lever 5 keeps the two levers under pressure and causes the lever 5 to turn rapidly when the two levers are and Kingdom of Prussia, Germany, have inreleased bythe rotation of the lever l effected vented certain new and useful Improvements by the pointer 2. The lever-arm 5 serves in Devices for Stopping finding-Frames to actuate the stopping-device. The latter and Doubling-Frames by Means of a Measconsists in the example illustrated, of a body lll'lilg-ClOCli; and I do hereby declare the 9 which is subjected to the action of a spring following to be a full, clear, and exact deand is displaceable in a vertical direction scription of the invention, such as will and which engages with its nose 10 under enable others skilled in the art to which it i the bobbin-spindle 12 arranged in a slot 11 appertains to make and use the same. and is usually kept locked in its lowest posi- The subject-matter of this application is a j tion by means of lever-mechanism 13, 15 device for stopping winding-frames and This locking is effected by an arm lb of doubling-frames by means of a measuringthe lever 1% which is revoluble about 15.

clock when the bobbins have been wound Said arm 145 rests against a nose 16 on the with the determined length of thread. j lever The latter is revoluble about the The peculiarity of the new device consists pivot 17 and normally rests on a stop 18,

in lever-mechanism being arranged on the its other arm 13 resting against the nose 19 measuring-clock, said mechanism being noron the body 9. The lever 14 is formed as a mally locked and subjected to the action of wide sheet-metal plate or flap on which a a spring and being released by the clocksheet-metal ledge substantially at right pointer at the instant at which the deterangles to said flap is fixed, said ledge servmined length of thread has been wound 011 ing as a support for the thread-guard 29 the bobbins, so that at said instant one of the levers strikes against the already existing stopping device for the machine, which device otherwise comes into action only when the thread is broken, and actuates said device. Consequently in this case it is not necessary to provide a special stopping device and therefore the winding-frame or the like does not require any structural alterations when the new device is applied.

One embodiment of a device according to the present invention is represented by way of example, in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure l is a frontQlevation, Fig. 2 a side elevation, and Fig. 3 a side elevation of the lever mechanism and adjacent parts, the various members being in the positions occupied when the machine is stopped.

lines composed of hich falls down when the In the neighborhood of the lever 14 there is arranged a continuously rotating shaft 21 provided with two rods 22 parallel to said shaft. Said rods press against the thread-guard which has fallen down and force it back against the lever 14 and cause the latter to rotate about the pivots 15, so that the arm 1 1 slides off the nose 16 on the lever 13 and the lever-mechanism 13, 1a is released. The body 9 now flies up under the action of the spring 23 and carries with it the bobbin-spindle 12 so that the friction disk 24 on the bobbin-spindle is lifted off the main friction-disk 25 and the bobbin is stopped. The device acts in the same manner on coming into action when a bobbin is completed, but in this case the 1 is a counting-clock, the pointer 2 of i thread-guard does not initiate the stopping which is set in rotation by clock-work which j action but the arm 5 of the lever 5 released in its turn is driven by a pulley 3 which is by the pointer of the measuring clock. For set in rotation by the threads being led over this purpose a flap 26 is pivoted preferably it before they pass on to the bobbin. Laterj laterally on the upper end of the lever 14: ally on the clock-casing two levers 4, 5 are and said flap is normally held raised by a pivoted, of which the lever 4 projects with spring 27 to such an extent that the rods 22 its long arm 4 slightly in front of the clock on rotating with the shaft 21 can pass below dial 6 and consequently comes within reach t it (Fig. 2). If however, after the compleof the pointer 2, while its short arm 4P enj tion of a bobbin the lever 5 strikes against gages in a recess 7 in the short arm 5 of j the flap 26, the latter is depressed and comes within reach of the rotating rods 22 which turn it or force it back together with the lever 14c and so release the lever-mechanism 13, 1% (Fig. 3). The annular stop 28 on the lever 14 serves as a support for the depressed flap 26.

hat I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In combination with means for putting a winding frame out of gear, a lever normally locking the same and provided with a pivoted flap, a rotating shaft provided at opp0-. site sides with two rods parallel to itself, a plurality of normally interlocked spring-influenced levers, comprising a lever having an arm projecting toward said flap and adapted on rotating to move said flap and a thread-measuring device having a pointer which is adapted and arranged to release the said plurality of levers on the winding of a predetermined length of thread and the consequent action of said arm on said flap, moving the latter into the path of rotation of said rods and thereby turning the lever provided with the flap and releasing the means for putting the frame out of gear, substantially as set forth.

2. In combination with means for putting a winding frame out of gear, a device normally locking the same and having an independently movable part, interlocked levers, one of which has an arm arranged to act 011 said movable part, a thread-measuring dcvice having a pointer adapted to release said levers on the winding of a predetermined length of thread, and rotating means adapted to act on said movable part when the latter is shifted by said arm into the path of rotation of the same and'thereby to operate the lever provided with said movable part, thereby releasing the means for putting the winding frame out of gear, substantially as set forth.

3. In combination with means for putting a winding frame out of gear, a device normally locking the same, interlocked levers, one of which has an arm presented to said device, a rotary device arranged to strike a part of said locking device when thus moved into its path and thereby free said locking device from said winding frame, and a thread measuring device having a pointer or projecting part arranged and adapted to free said levers and thus permit such action of said arm when predetermined length of thread has been wound, substantially as set forth. 7

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing itnesses.
